Ever since I moved up format from 35mm to 67 - many of the concerns and worries about what Pentax and the others were doing/planning in the 35mm world ceased to concern me.
I just got back proofs from a wedding I shot over the weekend - 8 rolls of 120 and 2 rolls of 35mm. The 35mm was shot on the MZ-S with the FA*85/1.4 and FA35/2 - both good lenses. While it looks very nice, the 67 stuff is noticeably better even in 4X5 proofs. And when they are blown up to 8X10 or larger - well... I will continue shooting my 67 - I derive much satisfaction out of using it and the results that I can attain with it. I was never as happy with my 35mm work. So whether Pentax comes out with a DSLR or a new film flagship - no worries. As a side note: I got to view a bunch of 8X10's and a 12X18 printed on the Agfa DLab from my friend's D100 today. I will say that they looked pretty good. As far as sharpness and color rendition, about on par with a 35mm camera, but the detail and sharpness was nowhere near my 67 stuff - no matter what Luminous Landscape may say.
